Not sure he has not done an alien film since 1979, and i've always argued that the second one by Cameron was better when i was younger now i am not too sure. I think i like them equally.

The first Aliens production is a story unto itself. You want to talk about development problems.

H.R. Giger and the original writer and producer were supposedly let go.

Did we get the Alien film we should have? Probably not but that is why its "Ridley Scott's Alien".

Not that i'm saying Scott is George Lucas but remember when Lucas returned to star wars and indiana jones nearly twenty years later, the results were less than spectacular in my own humble opinion.

I hope Scott does not somehow have to tie this into the current shit franchise that completely destroyed a pretty neat dark horse comic and made it into 2 stupid movies AVP.

Alien 3 and 4 are so bad i pretend they don't exist like i do with T3 and T4.
